Dietz's 2001 book entitled "Firing On The Pennsy: A Fireman On The Pennsylvania Railroad Describes The 'Last Hurrah' Of The Steam Engine 1943-1947," page 88 and front cover. Photo by Paul Dietz. Photo Caption: "Waiting at Irondale for a pusher engine to attach to help our train up Salineville Hill."
